We are so excited to share our most recently photographed project.  This fantastic home is nestled in a beautifully wooded landscape in Tualatin, Oregon.  The redesign focused on the desire for entertaining while keeping a casual feeling in this comfortable family home.   Brock Design Group created this clean traditional look using white cabinetry and moldings with beautiful architectural details.  The black granite is easy to clean and the look is softened by a textured, leathered finish.  Taupe subway tiles create warmth on the backsplash and the brick set installation gives a classic detail this kitchen required.   Deep, rich hues on the walls and flooring are a perfect contrast to the white kitchen cabinetry and the beautiful lighting fixtures add a touch of the homeowner’s character.  The cabinet bases in the kitchen and laundry room have unique architectural detail that capture the eye and add depth.  The aesthetic is a clean and updated traditional that suits this family’s lifestyle.

STYLE FILES – Countertops To Top Off Any Room

Brock Design Group

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog

Walking into a kitchen or bathroom, usually the first thing to grab your eye is the countertop – marble, quartz, stainless steel, glass, wood.  An expanse of beautiful material makes you want to run your hand across it and soak it into your senses.

STYLE FILES – Updated Chic

Portland OR. Interior Design Company

Chic (pron.: /ˈʃk/), meaning “stylish” or “smart”, is an element of fashion.

When most people hear the word “Chic” in reference to interior design, they also link it with “Shabby.”  But, as you can see in the definition above, chic is ahead of the trend no matter what your style preference may be.  Because design is constantly “updating”, I wanted to share the chic styles of interior design with you.
